I finished block 1 of nursing school yesterday, and have a little under a month until I start block 2. I've been enjoying nursing school so far, and I've been learning a lot about how to think like a nurse, and lots of different stuff - injections, nursing assessments, common meds, oral/enteral med administration, catheter insertions & d/c, wound care, etc. The tests are so different from ones I've taken in the past - pretty much all the answers to the questions could be correct, but you have to pick which one is most applicable to the situation. Clinicals were great! We worked at 2 long term care centers, and a rehabilitation center over the course of 12 weeks. We had to do head-to-toe assessments each day we were at clinicals, and pass meds and do a care plan for each different facility that we went to. I'm glad to have a little break, time to get things around the house organized and have some fun!
Curt and I went out to celebrate after I got out of my final yesterday. We saw the movie 'Up', it was so good! I didn't really know what to expect at first because I only saw one vague preview for it, but it was a wonderful movie. After the movie, we went ice skating, and since we got there half an hour before they were going to end the session that was going on, they let us skate for free!
I'm looking back at the last entry that I made. I've been debating with myself about elaborating on what has been going on in my life this last month or so, but I think I'm just gonna go ahead and write about it,- I got pregnant two months ago after 15 months of trying, and ended up miscarrying. It was pretty devestating. I'm trying to find the positive, and that is that I was able to get pregnant after 15 months of nothing happening.
Onto happier things, Riah starts swim lessons on Monday. I think she'll have fun.
